Even though the human heart is undeniably depraved, there is nevertheless at the same time a deep urge within people to obey God. The inability to do so is frustrating to the point of despair, but because human beings bear the image of God there is an impulse to be what he created us to be. The old covenant was powerless to bring that innate desire to complete realization. But through Jesus "everyone who believes is set free from sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses" (Acts 13:39 TNIV). The new covenant in view in 1 Pet. 1:2 is the one that has been established by the blood of Jesus Christ. What the law was powerless to do—transform the hearts of people so they can obey the word of the Lord—has now been made possible by the blood of Jesus Christ. Christ brings to realization that innate desire to obey God. —Karen H. Jobes
